When will Firefox unblock Java
I understand that do to the security issues of Java 7 update 10 that Firefox blocked all Java usage, but since update 11 fixes these issues, when will Firefox unblock Java usage. I have already installed update 11 for java.

Question owner
It says that my plugin is up to date: yet still won't work (ex. pocket-monkey,com & other sites), yet will work on others.
Java 7u11 is blocked because a cracker was caught selling a new 0-day vulnerability that nobody knows about yet. And there appear to be at least two other vulnerabilities in u11 as well that need fixing. If you still need to enable Java, this article will help you unblock it.
Question owner
In the article it shows the plug in symbol in the address bar; I don't even see that when I try to enable Java. I really hope they fix all this soon!
